Nigeria’s former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, met with Dr Dikko Umar Radda, the governor of Katsina state, on Saturday, June 22.
According to AbdulRasheed Shehu, Atiku’s special assistant on broadcast media, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain met with Governor Radda, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), at the palace of the Emir of Daura.
“H.E. Atiku Abubakar also had the pleasure of meeting with Dr Dikko Umar Radda, the Executive Governor of Katsina State, at Emir’s Palace in Daura, Katsina State,” Shehu posted on X after his initial post announcing his principal’s visit to former President Muhammadu Buhari.
TheNGblog reports that Atiku said he visited the former president at his Daura residence on Saturday to pay Sallah homage.
The visit has, however, sparked further speculation about his political ambitions ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Atiku’s meeting with Governor Radda, an APC governor, may have further fuelled the political speculations.
